It's clobberin' time for Jamie Bell's the Thing in a new still from an Entertainment Weekly interview about Fox's upcoming "Fantastic Four" film.

In addition to a handful of stills released earlier today, this new photo shows the Thing in action as he's about to lay a smack down. Instead of a large and complicated costume like the one that was used in the 2005 and 2007 "Fantastic Four" movies, Bell will be motion captured for his performance.

"I just kinda jumped to 'body horror' in my head," director Josh Trank said of the film. "'Chronicle' [Trank's first film] is about the evolution and strengthening of unique powers. This movie is really viewing them as a curse."

"Fantastic Four" opens on August 17.
